Access to Tazkera and other civil documentation in Afghanistan

The purpose of this research is to inform future work in supporting displacement-affected persons to access civil documentation as well as accessing other rights and services connected to it. This will in turn contribute to enabling persons affected by displacement to achieve durable solutions – whether local integration, return or settlement in another part of the country. In order to do so, this research had three primary objectives:

1. Assess the scope and consequences of the nexus between legal identity and civil documentation and displacement in Afghanistan;
2. Identify the key actors, programming and legal frameworks concerning legal identity and civil documentation for displaced persons in Afghanistan; and
3. Inform NRC’s Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) programme’s legal identity and civil documentation response.
